1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Thanks got on an hour two Sean Hannity Show told

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: free it is eight hundred and nine to four one

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Sean if you want to be a part of the

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: programmer right, the Trump tariff effect, we're now officially at

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: eight trillion dollars committed investments for the next four years

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: for manufacturing inside the United States, and you know everything

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: from Apple, the announcement yesterday from Navidia, and very interestingly,

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: and I brought this up yesterday that you know, the

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: number of American cars sold in to the European Union

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: is about eight point nine billion dollars a year. Sounds

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: like a lot of money, but then when you compare

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: it to the number of cars from the European Union

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: that we buy in America, it's nearly fifty billion dollars.

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: And one of the main reasons is that Europe has

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: a ten percent tariff on any automobile imports from America

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: and we only have a two point five percent tariff,

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: or had a two point five percent tariff. Now the

18
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: President is raising it. And secondarily, they have a VAT

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: tax of value added tax, a national sales tax, and

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: that's another twenty percent, which adds a whopping thirty percent

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: to the final sticker price of an American car, never

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: mind the shipping costs that is sold to the European Union.

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: Now we not only have gone through we went through

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: Navidia News yesterday and all the other committed investments from

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: countries and companies in Apple and too many to name

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: and list right now. And I've scrolled that on TV many,

27
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: many times. But now these overseas companies, along with one

28
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty countries now looking to make deals with

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. My hope is the President will keep

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: it simple, give every country the option free and fair

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: trade or reciprocal tariffs. And other issues like selling oil

32
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: or currency manipulation or unfair trade practices or trade deficits

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think could be dealt with separately, and

34
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: that'll be part of ongoing negotiations. But for fifty sixty years,

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: we have had nothing but establishment and institutionalized thinking in Washington,

36
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: and we have allowed this ripping off of America to continue,

37
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: even with many of our allied countries. It's got to

38
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: come to an end. Somebody has to draw a line

39
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: in the sand. Now, the number of overseas companies that

40
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: are looking to shift their operations to the US to

41
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: mitigate the impact of the President's tariffs. The number is

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: growing dramatically. BMW, for example, now considering adding shifts to

43
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: their Spartanburg plant in South Carolina to boost output by

44
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: eighty thousand units. And Honda, the Japanese car maker, they

45
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: planned to move some car production from Mexico to Canada.

46
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: We've talked about that, as say, within Nissan their aim

47
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: is to make ninety percent of cars sold in the

48
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: country inside of America. Hyuendi, we talked about their multi

49
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: multi tens of billions of dollars that they're going to

50
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: invest in the US, and they are committed now to

51
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: building their vehicles and even building a new factory in Georgia.

52
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: They said.

53
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: Anyway, here for his analysis of all of it is

54
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: former Speaker of the House, New King Rich. Because you're

55
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: my older brother, I know that you absolutely knowing you

56
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: so well or not in freak out mode like so

57
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: many other establishment institutionalists in Washington, d C. And you

58
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: yourself a disruptor and not an iconoclass when you were

59
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: the Speaker, and I imagine that you fully expected this

60
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: to happen.

61
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: But let's see how it plays out.

62
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 3: No.

63
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 4: Well, I just came back from six days in South Korea,

64
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: and the businessmen I talked with there were very basically calm.

65
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 4: They said, look, we're going to negotiate. You know, the

66
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: United States is extraordinarily important to the survival of South Korea,

67
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 4: and we're going to find ways to work with the president.

68
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 4: And I think from their standpoint, what you're seeing is

69
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 4: a profound shift from a deal that have been struck

70
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 4: really right after the collapse the Soviet Union, in a

71
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 4: sense that we could open up the American market and

72
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 4: get ripped off every morning, and people like the Chinese

73
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: were eager to command to it. And as you pointed

74
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 4: out about the Europeans, I mean, the entire European model,

75
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: both on defense and on trade, relied on basically being

76
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 4: able to rip off the Americans and that we were

77
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: going to be passive enough and pleasant enough that we

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: would tolerate it. And I think Trump in that sense clearly,

79
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: just as domestically, I think he is the end of

80
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: the Roosevelt era after ninety years. I think in international

81
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 4: relations he is going to be setting up a very

82
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 4: different regime where the United States is going to be

83
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 4: pretty tough about making sure promises are kept and making

84
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 4: sure that we don't get ripped off. And I think

85
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: this is overdue, and I think that there's gonna be turmoil.

86
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 4: I mean, let's be clear, there's gonna be a period

87
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: here where mistakes will be made. Will be a period

88
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 4: where you'll negotiate and the Trump models always to go

89
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: way out and have a huge demand and then work

90
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 4: your way back to a deal, and the uncertainties will

91
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 4: be real. But my hunch is that long before the

92
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 4: end of this year, you will get people begin to

93
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 4: realize massive increase in American investment, massive increase in American jobs,

94
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 4: and that most of them are going to be high paying,

95
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 4: really good manufacturing jobs. And the choice of American people simple,

96
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 4: you know, which do you value more, really good jobs

97
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: in America or the right to buy really cheap products

98
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: from China. And the Chinese, I think are initially running

99
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 4: a bluff. Their economy is too small to go head

100
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 4: to head with us and have any hope in the

101
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: long run of succeeding. And they, much like the Germans,

102
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 4: they rely unbelievably heavily on ex sports and these markets

103
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 4: closed down for them, They're going to have a very,

104
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: very hard time with their own economy domestically over the

105
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 4: next five to ten years.

106
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: All right, let me ask you specifically about China. And

107
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: you know, I went through the absolute You know, there

108
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: is not a single product manufactured in America that they

109
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: don't put massive tariffs on, and they create huge barriers

110
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: for American products to be sold in China. And they

111
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: have been ripping us off and taking advantage of us forever.

112
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: And now they're trying to insult us and actually suggest

113
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: that we are peasants here in the US and that

114
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: we would wail in front of the five thousand years

115
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: of Chinese civilization, which is okay. I mean I can

116
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: take a good insult as well as anybody. But then

117
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: China suspended their rare earth exports, trying to kneecap US

118
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: industry relying on Beijing's monopoly because about ninety percent of

119
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: the parts. They halted an order that they had for

120
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: Boeing jets, And in many ways, this might be the

121
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: moment where America has a major wake up call that

122
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: we have been too reliant. COVID should have been the

123
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: wake up call because we realized that so many of

124
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: our pharmaceuticals were being produced in China, and they're not

125
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: a reliable partner, and they inflicted COVID on the entire world.

126
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: Light about it the whole time with the health of

127
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: with the help of the World's Health Organization, And this

128
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: now is an issue for as far as I'm concerned

129
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: in national security, especially when it comes to semiconductor investment,

130
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: and we see massive hundreds of billions now being invested

131
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: in that. I think in the end this might be

132
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: the best thing for national security and for the economy.

133
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: I just got a note a little while ago from

134
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 4: somebody who know well Congress, from Bob Walker, who used

135
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: to share the Science and Technology Committee. He's working with

136
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 4: the group right now, and they think within six months

137
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: they'll have solved the entire rare earth problem with China.

138
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 4: And what the Chinese are going to do is they're

139
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 4: going to force us to go out and innovate and invest.

140
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 4: But there's nothing that we get from China that we

141
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: can't ultimately generate here at home. And I think that

142
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 4: that's what part of this fight's all about. And I

143
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: think we're seeing now they're almost in a temper tantrum.

144
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 4: I mean, they can you know, they can get in

145
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: a big fight with bully and get an aucers of

146
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 4: lawsuits over whether or not they're going to, you know,

147
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 4: legally pay for things they've contracted for. But in the

148
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 4: long run, we make the best equipment in the world,

149
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 4: and we make the most advanced technology in the world.

150
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: And the truth is, if you took the amount of

151
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 4: money in intellectual properties by stealing from our various companies

152
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 4: and stealing from our university and government laboratories, that amount

153
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: annually has been stunning and as a major factor in

154
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 4: the rise of China. And as we get tougher about

155
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 4: this stuff, they're going to suddenly find that they're going

156
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 4: to be cut off from many of the sources of

157
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 4: technology that they'd relied on for the last twenty five years.

158
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: What do you think happens with countries like the EU

159
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: and Japan and Korea and Taiwan and India. What now,

160
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: We've already seen Great Britain. Just yesterday the Prime Minister

161
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: there lifted tariffs on nearly ninety US products coming into

162
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: Great Britain, which I thought was basically the Trump effect. Again,

163
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: this eight trillion dollars in committed investment is real money.

164
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: That's real investment money. For this country. I think it

165
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: certainly will take a little time for this to get

166
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: into the bloodstream of the economy.

167
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: But what will these other countries do in your view?

168
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: Well, you know, Mark Tuson wrote a really interesting column

169
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 4: and said Trump may be the most effective free trader

170
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 4: in history. The foot he's basically said all these countries

171
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 4: is you want access to our market. We got to

172
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 4: have access to your market. You want to cut off off,

173
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 4: We're going to cut you off. And I see country

174
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 4: after country where they're coming forward.

175
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 3: Now.

176
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: The Japanese Prime Minister said, look, we are not going

177
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 4: to retaliate. We're going to work through this. We're going

178
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 4: to find a way to get it done. I had

179
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 4: the same tone when I was in Seoul, South three

180
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 4: over the last five days, where their attitude was how

181
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 4: do we work this out? Not how do we get

182
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 4: in a big fight. And none of them have an

183
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 4: interest in shifting from being focused in the US to

184
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: becoming focused on the Chinese, just because the Chinese dictatorship

185
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: is frankly, so frightening and so hostile that and basically

186
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 4: rips people off so much that nobody wants to make

187
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 4: that their primary reliance.

188
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: I agree, and President Chi can go all around the

189
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: world as he's currently doing. He's on a tour to

190
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: try and entice other countries to choose them over US.

191
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't think the world sees them as a reliable partner,

192
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: especially because of their unfair trade practices. They're massive terroriffs,

193
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: they're intellectual property theft, and the fact that they're using

194
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: you know, sweatshop labor to produce pretty much everything that

195
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: they're producing.

196
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: But between artificial intelligence, robotics, and a whole range of

197
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 4: other breakthroughs, we're going to be the most productive, the

198
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 4: most exciting place on the planet. And you're gonna wake

199
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 4: up the one who's a business person. It's okay, Do

200
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 4: I want to work with the Americans inventing the future

201
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 4: with the Europeans regulating the past, or with the Chinese

202
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: ripping everybody off? And I think we're going to win

203
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: that competition by a very big margin.

204
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: I think so too.

205
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: Now, what do you say to the naysayers, these people

206
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: on Wall Street that have been in a never ending

207
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: state of freak out ever since Donald Trump made an

208
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: announcement of settled.

209
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 4: Instance? Okay, do I want to work with the Americans

210
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 4: inventing the future with the Europeans regulating the past, or

211
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 4: with the Chinese ripping everybody off. And I think we're

212
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 4: going to win that competition by a very big margin.

213
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: I think so too.

214
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: Now, what do you say to the naysayers, these people

215
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: on Wall Street that have been in a never ending

216
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: state of freak out ever since Donald Trump made this announcement.

217
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: Now the markets have settled with the ninety day reprieve,

218
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: but as the result, you have one hundred and thirty

219
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: countries that are begging for deals. My hope is and

220
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: the New York Post had a pretty good editorial on

221
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: this today, is that the President signs deal after deal

222
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: after deal, which I would equate to win after win

223
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: after win for America generally for American workers overall, and

224
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: the American economy and manufacturing and American security as well.

225
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: I think it runs that deep.

226
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 4: H That's right, And I think I'll say I remember

227
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 4: that you have a separatary Treasury who actually knows what

228
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 4: he's doing and who so far, I think has done

229
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 4: a really good job. And so from that standpoint, I

230
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 4: think that we are in a pretty good position to

231
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: expect that we're going to get a lot of deals.

232
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 4: And Scott Besten's done a great job so far, and

233
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 4: I think what you're going to see happen. Remember, if

234
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 4: you are a lot of the guys in New York

235
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 4: who manipulated markets, who were quite happy to close down

236
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 4: American factories, will you make tons of money out of children,

237
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 4: for example making Nike sneakers in China. This is all

238
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 4: an enormous shock because you know, you didn't mind weakening

239
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 4: the American economy as long as you got a lot richer.

240
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 4: And so I think there was a legitimate reaction from

241
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 4: the people who basically for the last twenty five years

242
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 4: have favored China over the US and how they made

243
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 4: their investment strategies. And they had a vision which is

244
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 4: sort of the Davos vision in Switzerland, of that gathering

245
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 4: of billionaires that you know, they were going to somehow

246
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 4: be lords of the universe and the rest of us

247
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 4: are all peasants, which may be where the Chinese used

248
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:46,599
Speaker 4: the word peasants yesterday, but the fact is middle.

249
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: I want to talk about peasants, I would say maybe

250
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: they need to look inward as they they're the ones

251
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: with all the sweatshops, you know, yeah, and the oppression

252
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: of you know, all these minority groups as well.

253
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 4: Well. Look, I think the fact is when you get

254
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 4: beyond Shanghai and Hong Kong and Beijing and you start

255
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 4: going into the interior, you still have a country. It's

256
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 4: relatively primitive and relevant and very poor, and they have

257
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 4: a lot of internal tensions, and I think that to

258
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 4: some extent, their reaction is hysteria rather than systematically thought through.

259
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 4: President Trump starts with a very simple model. This is

260
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 4: the biggest economy on the planet. It's the most desirable

261
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: place to be selling things, and we want to make

262
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 4: sure that if you're going to sell here, you're going

263
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 4: to build here, You're going to create jobs here. And

264
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 4: people are rapidly and you know, in the first three

265
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 4: months of his presidency, the number of jobs that have

266
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 4: been committed, the number of factories that have been committed,

267
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 4: it's astonishing. This is rapidly going to become the biggest

268
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 4: construction boom, probably in American history, at least since World

269
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 4: War Two. And you're just going to see lots and

270
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 4: lots of people getting good jobs, and you're going to

271
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 4: see the United States once again leading the world. And

272
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 4: that'll be compounded by the breakthroughs and things like robotics

273
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: and artificial intelligence, and advanced chemistry, and then for that matter,

274
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 4: advanced biology. We're in every one of these areas. We're

275
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 4: going to lead the planet pretty dramatically.

276
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: All right, New King Rich As always, we appreciate you,

277
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. Eight hundred nine four one,

278
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: Shawn our number if you want to be a part

279
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: of the program. I see Gretchen Whitmer, I mean, it

280
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: was so weird. Gretchen Whitmer is the governor of Michigan. Michigan.

281
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: Michigan has been devastated by tariffs that have incentivized a

282
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: lot of companies to build their manufacturing plants auto manufacturing

283
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: plants out of the US, and then they charge massive

284
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: tariffs on any American products coming into their country, including

285
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: a lot of friendly countries, allied countries, supposedly friends like this.

286
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: Who needs enemies, right?

287
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, we provide for the national defense of many,

288
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: if not most of them. And anyway, so Gretchen Whitmer

289
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: has watched the population of Detroit, you know, literally go

290
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: in half a once great city. They're bulldozing entire neighborhoods

291
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: to consolidate neighborhoods and services. I mean there was a

292
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: period you can go on eBay and buy a home

293
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: in Detroit for a dollar because people wanted to get

294
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: rid of it and any tax liability that they had.

295
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: So if anybody should be concerned or happy about the

296
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: President fighting to bring back what eight trillion dollars in

297
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: investment in manufacturing back home and incentivizing Nissan and Hyende

298
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: and Honda and all these other auto manufacturers to build

299
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: in America, you would think it would be the people

300
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: of Michigan. And maybe they could take these mothballed, you know,

301
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: auto plants and build them back up and create high

302
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: paying career jobs. I know the UAW leaders they would

303
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: love it, and workers.

304
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 2: Would love it.

305
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: And so she goes to the White House. But she's embarrassed.

306
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: She went and she puts a literally they they're taking

307
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: a picture of her, and she covers her face. Here's

308
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: her excuse about it.

309
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 5: I was the old offices yesterday.

310
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 6: Well, I think you heard the young man in there.

311
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 6: You got to show up, right, they want to result

312
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 6: You got to show up.

313
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 7: You're showing up in Michigan. You make you feel comfortable.

314
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 6: You know, I did not know they walked me in.

315
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 6: I thought I was going into our private meeting, and

316
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 6: of course it was that press conference, but I did

317
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 6: have the opportunity chat with the President. As you heard

318
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 6: him say, there's some great things about selfridge, about protecting

319
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 6: the Great Lakes. And I also have the primary purposes

320
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 6: to talk about ice storm today. I want to talk

321
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 6: a little bit about the power of certainty.

322
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 3: We could all use more of it, especially these days.

323
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 3: I mean, one minute you're certain you're at the White

324
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 3: House for a meeting, and the next you find yourself

325
00:17:58,920 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 3: in a press conference.

326
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 7: Are you been in the news lot lately?

327
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 8: You've been busy? Yeah? How was Washington?

328
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 7: Did you?

329
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 8: I had watched your speech that morning and I thought

330
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 8: it was great. I thought you had touched upon really

331
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 8: the high points of what's important and the ships, chips

332
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 8: and cars.

333
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 4: Yep.

334
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 8: Then about ninety minutes later or so, there was a

335
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 8: change in the direction.

336
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 6: Of the news coverage, the news coverage.

337
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 8: And the next morning I woke up and here you

338
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 8: are in the paper, beautiful picture of you.

339
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 3: You asked me what was going through your mind at

340
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 3: that moment, and it was I don't want my picture taken,

341
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 3: That's all it was. I kind of wish I hadn't

342
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 3: put my folder up in front of my face.

343
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: But whatever, I don't want my picture taken. What politician

344
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: doesn't want their picture taken in the Oval Office? Oh

345
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: that's right, only one that really is begging for help

346
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: from Donald Trump but doesn't want the world to know

347
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: about it. All right, Speaking of Michigan, we have Jennifer. Jennifer,

348
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: you're on the Sean Hannity Show.

349
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 7: Hi, Hi, thanks for taking my call. Well, Gretchen Whitmer

350
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 7: is just the worst. But having her in the Oval

351
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 7: Office to witness President Trump signing the EO on the

352
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 7: twenty twenty election fraud was savage. That was such a

353
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 7: brilliantly calculated and deliberate move on Trump's part. And just

354
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 7: seeing the humiliation on Whitmer's face.

355
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 9: Oh, that was gold.

356
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 7: That was pure gold.

357
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: It was pure gold.

358
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: I mean it was hiding her face, doesn't want to

359
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: be seen there, but definitely wants the policies, needs the

360
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: policies for her own political survival.

361
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 7: Oh, I don't think she's going to survive. What else

362
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 7: Trump has up his sleeve? And I hope ag Nessel

363
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 7: and Secretary of State Benson, I hope they're paying attention

364
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 7: because what went on in Detroit at twenty twenty election.

365
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 7: You know, we're not stupid where we're not blind. We

366
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 7: saw what went on. So we've been patient and I

367
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 7: just haven't stopped smiling since November fifth.

368
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: So it's all going to be you know what, you

369
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: shouldn't stop smiling. And you know again, the Republican Party

370
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: now and the MAGA movement is emerging as the representatives

371
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: of hard working men and women, and the Democratic Party

372
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: is the party of woke, radical, extreme coastal elites that

373
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: are completely out of touch with the people that make

374
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: this country great. And I'm telling you this is this

375
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: is transformational politically, and this could change you know, this

376
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: can literally change demographics and states. If everything works out,

377
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: hopefully over time and it takes time, this could this

378
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: could dramatically shift the electorate I think for a generation

379
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: or more, and I hope it does. Jennifer. We appreciate you.

380
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: Glad you're out there. Eight hundred and nine four one

381
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: Shawan is a number Ralph in New Hampshire. Hey, Ralph,

382
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called?

383
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 9: Hey? Hey, Sean, thank you for taking my call. I

384
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 9: was going to talk to you about Tarris. You know,

385
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 9: I look at tarifs as some of the products that

386
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 9: Chine ourselves and everything. They're going to be stuck with

387
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 9: that stuff. So it'll be like a reverse boycott, so

388
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 9: to speak. I don't know if you can remember the

389
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 9: boycotts back in the day. People don't buy things, and

390
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 9: guess what, they get stuck with the product and eventually

391
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 9: they have to sell it to somebody because he can't

392
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 9: sit on it. And hopefully that'll happen and prices will

393
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 9: come down and a lot of products if this keeps

394
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 9: going on.

395
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm just telling you right now it is.

396
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: China now has gotten so aggressive and so confrontational, and

397
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: let them do that. And I actually agreed with the

398
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: New York Post editorial today. Let the president now go

399
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: forward with other countries, allied countries, there are one hundred

400
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: and thirty plus of them, and sign deal after deal

401
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: after a deal, free or fair, free and fair trade

402
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: or reciprocal tariffs. That's going to be up to them.

403
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: They can deal with other financial issues. One of the

404
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: big ones to me would be selling American energy to

405
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: these countries abroad that desperately needed for national security reasons.

406
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: And let's see, let's see how this plays out. I

407
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: would bet that Chinaese needs access to our markets. And

408
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: if China wants to keep playing hardball, let them try.

409
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: But they picked the fight with the wrong guy. And

410
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: President Chi can go around the world all they want.

411
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: The world doesn't trust China and they don't trust him.

412
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: You know, earlier in the program, I can give you

413
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: the list and go through it again and again and

414
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: again of all of the all of the things that

415
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: China is hitting us with massive tariffs on and they

416
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: have basically they've been in a tariff war against us,

417
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: and we've taken it, and they've been abusive in it.

418
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: And I think it's time for America to not be

419
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: abused anymore and not be ripped off anymore. And China,

420
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: in spite of what they're posturing, is going to have

421
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: to come to the table at some point or America

422
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: will just emerge as the world's economic leader. Now, in

423
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: the end, there might be look, there might be a

424
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: short period of time where there's a lot, there's some

425
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: pain and transitional you know, difficulties. But frankly, they're not

426
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: a reliable partner. I don't want our pharmaceuticals produced in China.

427
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: I don't want our semiconductor chips produced in China, and

428
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: there are other partners we can you know, we can

429
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: deal with that, will manufacture and deal with rare earth

430
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: minerals and everything else that we're going to need. America

431
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: will have options and does have options, and we're going

432
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: to use them.

433
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 9: Yeah sounds good.

434
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 2: All right, my friend, God bless your Ralph and live

435
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: free or die? All right?

436
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: Quick break right back to our phones. Eight hundred and

437
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: nine point one, Sean, if you want to be a

438
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: part of the program as we continue, the left is trying.

439
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 4: To extinguish conservative voices, and he's.

440
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: Fighting fire with fire, standing up for your beliefs.

441
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 5: It's Sean Hannity on the air right now.

442
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: I love to get back up busy phones. Eight hundred

443
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: and nine four one. Shawn is our number. Jim Wisconsin, Jim,

444
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called?

445
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 8: Hey?

446
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 5: Sean, Thanks for taking my call.

447
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 2: Thank you.

448
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 5: The points I want to bring up is the Democrats

449
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 5: are always fighting voter id and term limits. People should

450
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 5: have to ask themselves why when it would just as

451
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 5: likely affect a Republican politician as well. Case in point,

452
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 5: DeSantis can't run again. His term ends in twenty twenty

453
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 5: seven where it's fair all the way around, and I

454
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 5: don't know why anybody would be fighting those two ideas.

455
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 5: One other thing I want to bring up is I

456
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 5: moved three years ago to Wisconsin from Illinois, left a good,

457
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 5: high paying union job. I just could not stand being

458
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 5: in that state one second longer. And my wife and

459
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 5: I went to Trump rally in Wisconsin, a bus stop

460
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 5: tour and the town hall meeting, and one message they

461
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 5: gave it all three of those was not to stop

462
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 5: getting out to vote. Case in point, Susan Crawford just

463
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 5: one instead of Brad Schimmel and Derek Van Ordon. Our Rep.

464
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 5: Was on the radio a few days back and said

465
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 5: that six hundred thousand Republican voters did not turn out

466
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 5: for that election, how easily Crawford could have been defeated.

467
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 5: She won by three hundred thousand volts votes and there

468
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 5: was six hundred thousand people that didn't vote, and it's

469
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 5: just shame on every Republican that didn't get out for them.

470
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: Well, there's one thing you not factoring in that I

471
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: believe was a big part of that special l April

472
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: first election. And I think that the conservative justice who

473
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: I liked on issues was on record as supporting an

474
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred's law on abortion in Wisconsin that made no

475
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: exceptions for rape incest to the mother's life. Now, when

476
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: you go back and you look at when Josh Shapiro

477
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: beat Doug Mostriano in Pennsylvania, going back a number of

478
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: years ago, that was the year Oz was running against Fetterman,

479
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: So I was very familiar with that race, and Mostriano

480
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: had no exceptions for rape, pincess mother's life. It is

481
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: to me, especially in a swing state, an untenable position

482
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: for any Republican to get elected in period, end of sentence,

483
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: whether you like, forget about where you stand on the issue.

484
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: Now it's kind of a moot point because the Supreme

485
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: Court codified the abortion pill, which is basically a first

486
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: trimester law that allows for abortion and its availability around

487
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: the country. So I think in that sense, it's we're

488
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: at ten to twelve weeks now, and now it's a

489
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: matter of what states prefer, and the states will make

490
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: that decision, and I think I just don't believe in

491
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: any swing state that I can think of, that if

492
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: you have that position on abortion, that you can win

493
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: a statewide election. That's my position. What do you think

494
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm wrong.

495
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, I would agree with you.

496
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, I mean that in three hundred

497
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: thousand votes was nothing. I think that that is a

498
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: big issue for a lot of Americans. And it doesn't

499
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: matter what my position is. I'm just looking at this

500
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: purely from a political standpoint, not a moral standpoint. But

501
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: the country even look at Mississippi fifteen weeks, Look at Ohio,

502
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: what do they go to. I think they went to

503
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: sixteen weeks, and these are red states that are overwhelmingly

504
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: supporting first trimester or a little bit longer abortion laws.

505
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, then you get to the

506
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: point where, okay, when is the feat is viable? And

507
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: I think signs might even change the entire equation and

508
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: the debate over time, but we'll have to wait and see.

509
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: So it just is a little bit more complicated. It's

510
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: sad because this is very liberal Justice Crawford is going

511
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: to have to weigh in on issues of redistricting, and

512
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: the Democrats will jerry mander and they may pick up

513
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: as many as two seats. I tried to warn people

514
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: about the consequences of that election, but it is what

515
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: it is, and I think Republicans have to be very

516
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: very smart in who they decide to run in these

517
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: elections period, and that does matter, especially in a swing

518
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: state like your state of Wisconsin. Although I think Wisconsin

519
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: has the possibility of being a red state if Republicans

520
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: can get all of these issues right, and that happens

521
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: to be an important issue. We saw the consequences after

522
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade was overturned in terms of the next cycle.

523
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: There was great impact, and then the state started adopting

524
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: laws responding to the people in their respective states and

525
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: then people calm down about it, and Democrats really don't

526
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: have the ability to demagogic. In this case, I think

527
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: they had the ability to demogogic. Jim, We appreciate you man.

528
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: Thank you eight hundred and nine four one. Sewan, if

529
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program,
